After disgracing Andew Yakubu out of NNPC ,Jonah yet again disgraces another southern kaduna indigene out of office. We are waiting for him at the polls .

Bizinton:
President Goodluck Jonathan has fired Martin-Luther Agwai as the head of his government’s intervention unit, SURE-P.

Mr. Agwai is a respected former Defence Chief, who led United Nation missions in Sudan, amidst other career runs.

Mr. Agwai was appointed by Mr. Jonathan to head SURE-P, a department created by the government to deploy saved fuel subsidy money for the provision of critical infrastructure and jobs.

In a statement Tuesday, presidential spokesperson, Reuben Abati, named Ishaya Dare Akau as the new head of SURE-P, Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme.

The new SURE-P Chairman hails from Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State and holds Bachelors’ Degrees in the Arts and Law.

Mr. Akau comes to the job with years of experience as a high-level administrator in the nation’s public service. His record of service includes tenures as Chairman of the Kaduna State Universal Education Board and Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission.

The presidency did not give any reason for Mr. Agwai’s removal, beyond saying it was “in furtherance of his efforts to continuously re-energize and reposition agencies of the Federal Government for optimal service delivery”.

But PREMIUM TIMES understands reliably that Mr. Agwai was fired for flouting a presidential instruction that no government official or member of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, should attend the birthday event of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, last week.

Mr. Jonathan and the former president have been locked in a longstanding row which has seen Mr. Obasanjo repeatedly criticise the president publicly.

The spat climaxed three weeks ago when Mr. Obasanjo quit the party and publicly tore his membership card.
Sources within the presidency told PREMIUM TIMES that all government functionaries were instructed by President Jonathan to boycott Mr. Obasanjo’s birthday event.

Our sources said when informed of the president’s warning, Mr. Agwai, who climbed to the pinnacle of his career under the Obasanjo administration, said he will go ahead and attend the function, more so, in view of the president’s directive.

Our sources said for daring the president, it was clear Mr. Agwai would be fired.

One source said it appears Mr. Agwai was informed ahead of the announcement of his removal Tuesday, as the former defence chief arrived early at the SURE-P office to pack his belongings.

Mr. Agwai himself replaced Christopher Kolade, who was sacked after criticising the president.

These are the facts........
GEJ met the Foreign Reserve at $47.7bn,
today it is $38.2bn.
GEJ met the Excess Crude Account at $20bn
today it is $1.8bn
GEJ met unemployment rate at 11.8%, today
it is 24%
GEJ met the Naira/Dollar rate at N140, today
it is N225
GEJ met recurrent expenditure at 62%, today
it is 86%
GEJ met our External Debt at $3.9bn, today it
is 9.3bn.
We have earned more in oil revenue under
GEJ but instead of him to save and shore up
our reserves, he depleted our reserves and
increased our debts.
And you say you want four more years of
HIM? *smh*

The foreign reserve is about $30 billion as we speak now. Exchange rate is now around 230 to a dollar too. You may want to correct those two.

This is going to far, it's just a birthday celebration,haba

You are the enemy within. You are so financially illiterate and innumerate that it will take another 43 years to bring you up to ...scratch...
How much did you or your miserable parents have 4/6 years ago? So how much do you have now? What have you really achieved apart from your corrupt education. Then minus the deals that you have been on for much of your existence. How much is that? Obama came to power, and increased the US debt to more than 2 trillion dollars, not counting quantitative easing. Cameron of UK came to power and increased UK debt and deficit by £300 billion. Yet JONATHAN has increased Nigeria debt by only $50 billion. You obviously do not understand macro economics nor the halving of the oil price in the past 18 months. I weep for Nigeria and all it's useless citizen. People that are supposed to have brains, yet Buhari thinks for them. People who should have eyes, yet TINUBU sees for them, ....

so the above statement that u quoted are very good achievements of the current administratio?? It's clear No No... what does that mean if we give the administration another 4years it means free fall is all we see.

Only boot lickers are allowed in this government.

GEJ is too petty.

Gen. Martin Agwai is lucky that he has to quit before our corruption zero tolerance People's General takes over comes May, 29. He may not be probed for partaking in this wide spread day light ''stealing that is not corruption'' as the GEJ government has ordained. Even if he's going to be punished, I think it's going to be less, at least 2yrs imprisonment plus returning half of his loot.
What a lucky man!

The man deserves what he got, because he can't eat his cake and still have it. May be the man had forgotten that he is no more a Military Man but a bloody civilian, so his allegiance should be to his present boss not the past boss.

So if an individual is not a southerner nor middlebelt, the person is a backstabber?
Bigot

Don't mind him. I served in Adamawa, the people there are lovely people and hospitable.
I enjoyed my stay and brought back with me memorable moments. When people speak negatively about a certain tribe or culture, is because they don't know better. They have not left their comfort zones and travel to other part of the country.
When we travel out of the country, we are not seen as Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa. We are first seen as Nigerian before any other thing. So, let's stop the hate!

when a political Appointee is no longer comfortable With a government policy or programs, RESIGN HONORABLY.
Now, he was just disgraced out of office. No one will care to hear his own side of the story. Had he resigned, then shoot the venom, it would have shook the government. Next time, learn to Resign

It's about principles. I am talking about principles here not boss or servant. From his speech which he delivered at the bday, he was no longer comfortable with the government. He ought to resign. Either way, he has been sacked and is back to oblivion. Politicians should learn to resign abi they are scared of unemployment??

JEEZ!!

That is good, I taught he was sacked for his lackadaisical attitude towards the payment of surep graduate interns, most interns has not been paid since they start working 6 months ago,while govt insisted that money has been released.

Worse. Happy?

Boss13:
I just love this newspaper they break the news real hard. Though Akau has the right to associate with whoever he want, I will do the same if I were Jonathan (no hard feelings). The president needs to know who his true supporters are even though I don't want him to win the election.

And does it make sense to sack him for such reasons?

i love the Sacking men. let him sack him. either you are with them, or against them.

Since he get mind go him boss enemy birthday, anything wey he see, he go carry.





Sorry

Team #Alutacontinua@GEJ

I was disappointed in some of Mr Agwai's speeches to be honest

I am not surprised he got the sack

Mr Agwai by his position has access to the President. if he has any reservations he should communicate that to the President privately

otherwise then he should have resigned. You cant go about slagging a Government you are part of. It don't work like that.

Very soon he'l defect to apc and start shouting change! Afta stealing 4rm pdp.

I'm igbo, but more importantly, I'm a Nigerian

I vote for the better candidate, I'm a patriot.


I can never vote for corruption personified

Uncle jona dis na cheap wrong move

Kindly get your facts right. Christopher Kolade RESIGNED from the position giving his age as excuse and only criticised government for the way they are running SURE-P after resigning
